Summary

When Rosmery Alvarado, 42, arrived in Kansas City on Wednesday with her husband and daughter to attend a spousal interview for her green card application, “everyone had a bad feeling.”

They had received unusual short notice for the interview and saw warning signs. 40 minutes later, Alvarado was on her way to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center.

“We didn’t get any kind of warning. They didn’t let us say goodbye.”

“My mom is not a criminal,” Carina Moran said. “She’s just my mom.” “She told us that she was scared and that she probably cried to herself throughout the whole night, that it was cold.”

    They have removed any “legal” pathway to becoming a citizen. At this point, I don’t see any reason for anyone to show up to ANY immigration appointment.

    Despotic country, you shouldn’t have allowed that orange turd to be president. Kamala fucked up in the electoral campaign but still would be a better choice than this orange piece of shit.

    The most impressive, though, are the amount of similar two legged pieces of shit working as “law enforcement”.

      And the important thing to remember about those “law enforcement” is they weren’t new hires for Trump’s gestapo, they were there the whole time and just waiting to go full fash. If and when this ends, they shouldn’t be allowed to just say they were following orders and now they’ll be good. They’ll just be going dormant waiting for another opportunity, either from an explicit go ahead or a lack of oversight.

      The whole war on terror reorganization should be undone. Protecting the US from dangerous terrorists was never the purpose of these new bureaus.

        Not just law enforcement, but every maga person too. They didn’t spontaneously become shitty people, they just stopped hiding it.
